Pánico Práctico

IZAL's song 'Pánico Práctico' delves into the themes of fear, change, and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has spent years hiding, likened to a wolf in a hole, shaped by the experiences and influences of others. This metaphor of a 'wolf' suggests a sense of isolation and a struggle with inner demons. The protagonist reflects on the past, recalling moments captured by a camera, symbolizing memories that are both cherished and haunting. The 'absence of the third dimension' hints at a detachment from reality, perhaps a coping mechanism to deal with pain.

The chorus, with its repeated 'Adiós al pánico práctico,' signifies a farewell to practical panic, a term that could represent the everyday anxieties and fears that come with human connections and encounters. The mention of 'giants' that caused fear in the night suggests overcoming significant challenges or adversaries. By 'destroying their faces' and not keeping the pieces, the protagonist is determined to move past these fears without holding onto the remnants of the past.

As the song progresses, there's a sense of transformation. The protagonist speaks of forgetting old habits and inventing a new language, symbolizing personal growth and a new way of expressing oneself. The 'old coward' is replaced by a 'new savage,' indicating a shift from fear to boldness. The repeated farewells to panic and vertigo underscore a desire to leave behind the paralyzing effects of fear and embrace a more fearless, liberated self. 'Pánico Práctico' is a powerful anthem of letting go, facing fears, and embracing change with courage and resilience.
